If they (those empty addresses) didn't have any balance before the forks (which is obviously none for an unfunded paper wallet),
will not get any forked coins at all.

I assume that your post was a reply to the top post before that reply.
Otherwise: wait what?  

Tried sorting out the problem through deduction?

If you can afford to halt your operation, remove all the cards, one PSU and their risers.
Plug the newly added card to the best "working" riser and mine using only that card.
If the rig shuts down again, it's a bad card, if not, it's something else.

Better if you have a spare MoBo w/ components and a PSU for testing.

The problem with this is: threads that are needed to be locked are the ones which receives regular posts, thus, those will not get locked.
Using that "auto-lock" feature will help necro-posting but not the spam problem.

Together with automatic or moderated "report spam" and...
Including the Author's Rank, Last Active Date and new Poster's Rank to the basis might lessen the harm on thread locking automation.

Examples:

• The threads of a Newbie-Member account which last login date was a year ago needs to be "soft-locked" after X period of time, only Full members or above can post a reply triggering "unlock" to the thread. That way, necro-posting newbies cannot revive an old thread, only established members can.
• A thread of an active Full Member was reported as "spam thread" (can be automated or moderated), the Author will receive a notification about a request to lock his thread. Since the Author is active, he can receive and respond to that notification, this can apply to active newbies and members as well.
• A thread of an inactive Full Member was reported as "spam thread", the thread will be "soft-locked" but will not be automatically locked.

In regards to the notification, it could be a warning for a read-only or ban-able offence in extreme case scenarios.

Still, the best way is to get this moderated by responding to "lock this thread" reports, but that's much of a hassle for Moderators.

As far as I know, ICOs offer investors discounts or rather bonuses for the "early birds" and it works wonders.
Experimenting on gimmicks like extra discounts are a good thing, the wholesale discount can be a good addition if you use it well.

The truth is, ICOs aren't totally trusted by the crowd, what they trust is each-other's decisions.
People want to join an ICO which is "selling like pancakes", one reason is, they could be thinking that "it's a good one because the fund is growing faster than anticipated"
With the early bird bonus, the crowdfunding can achieve a boost at the start of the fundraising that is most of the time displayed in the Webpage, which is an eyecandy for potential investors.

With this, offering a wholesale bonus together (do not disregard the "usual") with the earlybird bonus can help the success of the ICO.
Although, the usual early bird bonus is good enough, another gimmick wort hunt.

Keep in mind that the most success-driver for crowdfunding is its offered services or end-products, not the bonuses.

Lol, I clicked the youtube link hoping that it might be a documentation of your rig or your calculations, thinking you might gone wrong.
Anyways, this video might help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ 

The secret is, buy an ASIC.

I underlined a phrase from your reply that got me think twice to consider running a node.
Is that means that I need to re-sync the whole node everytime I close it if I use bitcoin core with pruning activated?

Their address will receive it but you will not get credited from it.

If you didn't already broadcasted the signed transaction, you can Select the Saved Transaction
from History->Right Click->Remove to delete it.

It will remove the "displayed" deducted balance from your address and return to its actual value.

Sorry to say but, I believe that those type of addiction cannot be directly linked to cryptocurrency.

For example: "Cryptocurrency gambling" is Gambling Addiction, fiat replaced by digital currencies doesn't necessarily means that the addiction was related to cryptos.
But don't take this the wrong way, your initiative is good and seems like the "general idea" is also needed by the non-cryptocurrency related addicted persons.
Perhaps, you can widen your Target Market? by including them in the assistance program.

You're talking about a "mining pool".

Originally in major coin blockchain's design, the block reward will be generated in the block discoverer's address in whole.

Pools are designed to "gather" multiple miners and mine using their total Hashrate.
In pools, they have an API which "mince" the reward, split it among the miners who joined the pool, the amount they will receive will be based depending on their share (individual hash rate).

I don't know if IP check is possible and if it was, the blockchain will be designed to choose which miners to accept?
I sorry to tell you that, any device can be easily configured to mimic that specialized hardware if someone like Bitmain (ASIC manufacturer) wants to step up their game.
That was Crytonote and Scrypt promised years ago.

Funny thing is, the only option for any coin to be ASIC-proof is to become unprofitable for them to avert their eye on your coin... or be centralized.

With that, what's the point of making A Coin as a decentralized digital currency if you're going to choose the miners and discard the rest of the community?

Ok, so you don't want to decentralize your coin but to prevent ASICs from joining.

That would be hard, anything that a GPU/CPU can compute can be [r]renovated (into ASICs).
A newly developed algorithm will only solve the issue temporarily, as seen in the past ASIC-proof coins.
As a Cryptocurrency, it's impossible to select specific hardware while blocking others.
This is pretty much what you're implying.

As for the hardware, if you managed to make a "your-coin-specific mining hardware/GPU" and other GPU and ASICs can be easily outperformed by it, that is still a temporary isolation/solution.
If even your coin became profitable and famous, the chance that ASIC manufacturers to make an ASIC based on your coin can be high.
Even if your hardware is different and unique, it still has a "processor" which solves an algorithm that can be [r].

I'm using the same version of the stand-alone executable but on Windows7 (Regularly Updated).

Try opening it as Administrator,  "Windows7 Compatibility" or both.
(Right click Executable->Compatibility Tab->Select Windows7)

Forget the News, most of those are FUDs.

And NSA, even they can manage to have a reasonable computing power to bruteforce bitcoin private keys,
they can't totally do this in an alarming rate.
They will be needing an out-of-this-world supercomputer to "siphon" every highly funded bitcoin addresses.

If there's a problem with his Power Supply, the rig will not boot at all.
But still, there's no harm on telling us your PSU's brand and Power Rating.
This is pointless, resetting the Bios doesn't always magically fix problems.

---

All GPU's fans are spinning means that the PSU supplied them enough power to start.
Either the PC can't detect the cards due to bad riser cables, PSU cables, bad riser or the problem was caused by claymore miner's settings misconfiguration.

Start by (any of the two):

• Swapping undetected cards to the working Riser slot and insert the working card to the undetected riser.
• Read claymore's thread and some documentations about it for the proper configuration.

Did you read the part of the article that states "customers requesting 500 or 1,000 GPUs"? That clearly states that this cheap GPU sales might had already ended.
Those people must be the sellers of those high priced GPUs from ebay.

I can't tell the imported b-new price because most of my GPU's came from this 2nd hand shop: link

Reselling GPUs is not a good option for now. Even if you find cheaper cards abroad, shipping them can be a hassle.
The price might drop by half, the GPU mining profit has been declining since the start of February 2017.

Also, expect a 2nd-hand rush selling after the release of new NVidia Cards/Mining algorithm specialized cards.

If you are the topic starter:
-Open the thread you want to move.
-Scroll-down to the bottom of the page.
-Look for the "move topic" button: (Take Note: I've used this image in another thread that's why the "lock topic" was encircled)

Pure Copper coins are rare.
There are some "collectible" copper coins out there but you will probably get more value out of its rarity (from collectors) than it's weight.
If you ever find any pure copper coin in circulation, stashing them might be illegal (In some Countries, keeping an unreasonable number of coins is illegal, like the Philippines).

Why did you have to repeat and rephrase what you've said in this thread: Command line on Linux to verify Electrum?

You can just edit the OP and include your own reply (mentioning it as "edit" under a [hr] tag will do)
Bump the thread if you want it to get noticed, just don't forget to delete the bump later.

You will only be needing a PGP signature if you don't have any staked or posted Bitcoin Address in your previous posts.

I don't have the definitive idea of what PGP is, but I can give you the steps to look for off-forum answers.

• Step 1: Open a New Tab or Browser Window
• Step 2: Type google.com in the url bar, hit enter.
• Step 3: Type "What is PGP" in the search bar, hit enter.
• Step 4: Click the most relevant search result.

Thank me later.

+1 to this.
Seriously, why did I miss that in my previous reply? [l]

But take note, by saying Doge, he meant "Dogecoin", in case of any misdirection (there are tons of fake Doge in the wild),
the coins we're talking about and the ones you are looking for might be different, judging because of the way you spell Litecoin, just saying.
